I recently bought some fantastic old documents at an auction to get the ones I was interested in for my family tree. I am now selling the surplus documents (to get some money back) and I am trying to find the best homes for them.
The details are below and there are links to the images I have uploaded. I hope you find the images interesting, even if you do not wish to purchase.
I don’t want to spend forever doing this, so make me an offer and hopefully we can do a deal.
Happy ancestor hunting!
